First sentence: When asked why the author has created an interest in issues related to the transformations of modernization in Russia, the answer is simple. Russian «bird-troika», all the 70's and most of the 80-ies of the dull ramble on raznovelikim party meetings and dissident kitchen, by the end of the 80's - early 90's ozhila - so as ozhila. Rvanula right off the bat, so yes, that flew from a drop rider (former Soviet republics), the will, and who got in her captivity at different stages of Russian history. And suffered. And we have - his contemporaries - captures the spirit, kaleidoscopic changes not only the world around us, but our lives, ourselves. Here it is - a new stage of Russia's modernization.
Description: The process of Russian modernization as alternation of imperial and liberal models of modernization is considered in a monograph, in which an imperial model is a dominant, and liberal only additional, compensative. Nasha a historical misfortune consists in that Russian modernization is instrumental in not so much included of Russia in modernity, how many to strengthening of feodal'no-imperskikh grounds of the kul'turno-civilizacionnoy system. Modernization in the name strengthening of empire results in the redistribution of vital energy of man from the sphere of daily occurence in a sphere society or religious megaproektov, creates the world, where a man is the improvised mean only, and strengthening of empire is a great purpose. Whether it is possible to tear this vicious circle, show a country out of imperial track, to tear an umbilical cord, relating it with an impersko-feodal'nym legacy, and to release a man from service Empire, to Due and Power – here that circle of questions, on which we try to answer in this book.
A book is intended for kul'turologov, historians, sociologists, all those, who is interested in the processes of Russian modernization.
